Varicose Vein Removal Patient

Varicose Vein Removal Patient, John Tells Us About His Laser Vein Treatment by Dr. Kerr at The Vein & Vascular Institute

“I first noticed with my leg I had a lot of pack of veins behind my right leg and running down my calf. And then eventually I started getting fatigue in the leg and some cramp and pain in the leg.

So I went on the internet and I researched a vein and vascular doctor and who would be the best and I came across Dr. Kerr who is Board Certified and seemed like the best one to go to. So, I went and made an appointment with him and checked him out and I was very satisfied. When I went to see Dr. Kerr, they did an ultrasound on both my legs actually and they checked to make sure the other leg was good. And then they recommended getting the laser surgery.

So, then, I think it was a couple of weeks later, we had the surgery. After a day or two after the surgery, the swelling went down, and actually, a couple of days after that, I was actually riding the bike again. The recovery time was very quick, I was very impressed. Everything came out good.

The best part about it was my insurance covered it, so that made a big deal. That also helped me go for the surgery too, that was a good deal.

One of the main reasons why I got the surgery too is because my sister was worried about getting blood clots. And she said that you could get blood clots in your leg. And I had a cousin flying into California and he got a blood clot in his leg, and really, he got really messed up over it. So, that was one of my main reasons.

And also, now that I have the varicose vein removal surgery done, I don’t get any pain, any cramps in the leg, nothing, I feel great. It’s like, my right leg is better than my left leg. I don’t know how that is, but it’s good.

My leg is much better now, my leg is like night and day. If you look at my leg now, it looks like it never even happened. And if you see the picture of what my leg looked before and you see the after picture, it’s almost like I never had the surgery done. You can’t even see scars or anything. And the best part is I don’t have any fatigue in the leg, no heaviness, no sluggishness, no pain, no nothing. The leg is like as good as new.

I would definitely recommend the Vein and Vascular Institute, especially for Dr. Kerr. He was awesome. He was hands on. I would say he’s all strictly business. Takes care of it. Gets the job done. I would say, I wouldn’t go to anybody else, to be honest with you. I would say he’s the best guy to go to, if you want it done right.”

Patient Testimonials

I had a very specific varicose vein in my left leg…It was a little bit unsightly so I was always self-conscious of it. I came in for the varicose vein laser surgery…if you see my before and after pictures you will be amazed. I got to take those bandages off and I was shocked because that thing that had traveled with me my whole life, that big varicose vein was gone.

“Anyone that has swelling in their legs and the doctors keep telling them it’s fluid retention…just stop and think that maybe it is something else. Please come to see Dr. Kerr because he’s going to go that one extra step to help you…and I’m very sincere on that. I wish I would have done that sooner because I wouldn’t have suffered as long as I did with my legs.”

“I’m a patient of Dr. Thomas Kerr. The procedures are pain-free. My legs feel better, and they look better and I just feel fantastic. The insurance has paid for everything. I recommend the procedures to women and men who have varicose veins…come in and see Dr. Kerr. He will take care of them for you, with no pain. Every office he has, the staff is very professional, very courteous.”

“I had the laser surgery for the huge veins in the back of my leg, which you will see are amazingly gone. Holly, Dr. Kerr’s nurse, did some beautiful work on my spider veins, which were the little tiny ones that we all hate, as women… I would definitely recommend doing this treatment. It was, I would say, the best thing I could have done for myself, feeling confident, at 59, I feel younger than ever.”

“I could throw a blood clot from the veins and I could die from that, so that’s why I came in here, to have that taken care of… Everybody here is fantastic. From the nurses to the receptionist. The whole staff is fantastic… I would highly recommend Dr. Kerr and The Vein and Vascular Institute. Dr. Kerr is Board Certified, and I would definitely recommend them. They changed my life.”

“I was having leg pain, my muscles in the back of my legs were feeling like a charley-horse, and my leg was swelling. My doctor recommended that I go see a vein and vascular doctor. The vein treatment procedure was easy…covered by insurance…and I was back on my feet 8 hours later. Thanks to Dr. Wright, I feel much better now…it gave me energy…I’m not stressed out from the pain anymore.”
